A summer sensation for people of all ages, Punta del Este serves as Monaco in South America. Trendy, luxurious, expensive and beautiful, the city is the highlight of Uruguay when it comes to tourism. Forget cold days surrounded by old buildings and enjoy the atmosphere of a cheerful resort, where the biggest difficulty will be choosing between a freshwater beach and a saltwater beach.

It is in the summer that the city, which belongs to the department of Maldonado, lives its glory days. The movement starts late, not before 10am. Just get to the Rambla to see a huge parade of colorful sneakers and people enjoying the warm sun that invites them for a walk. Strollers, dogs, bicycles, rollerblades, seniors and young people full of fun complete the coming and going of a city that does not limit age for fun.

The great thing about the place is that, knowing so well the unpleasantness of icy days, everyone is committed to enjoying every second of the hottest season of the year. Accompanied by thermoses wherever they are, Uruguayans, Argentines and many Brazilians from the south of the country make a point of going out on the streets, enjoying the view of the beaches or just sitting on the lawn and chatting with friends. Punta del Este offers a chance for the most simplistic or the most luxurious pleasures - it's up to the guest to choose what they want.

Punta, as it is affectionately called by its intimates, is a place to go for walks in the open air, observe different animals, enjoy the setting sun, take pictures in tourist spots, try the chips in a casino and enjoy divine cuisine! Fish, seafood, meats and dulce de leche are served throughout the city and are great for lunch and dinner. To drink, how about a good wine or a clericot? Made with white wine and various fruits, the light and refreshing drink is delicious!

On the curve of Uruguay, where the Rio de la Plata meets the Atlantic Ocean, several tycoons spend their fortunes; there are also families and friends finding the coziness of their vacation. Whether you want to enjoy the friendly atmosphere with your family or enjoy the clubs that go on well into the night, Punta del Leste is full of possibilities.

The city is small, without as many tourist attractions as a large capital, but it is in the simplicity of nature and the beautiful view wherever you look that Punta del Este conquers many hearts. Surrounded by the river and the sea, the view is always a pleasant surprise.

On the beaches, tourists like to spend a good part of the day. Whether at Praia Mansa (with water from the Rio da Prata) or at Praia Brava (with water from the sea), there are many people enjoying the summer sun, drinking a mate and reading a book. When visiting Praia Brava, the Monumento ao Afogado is a mandatory stop! The five fingers that come out of the sand are the most disputed point in the city.

Walking on Rambla do Porto, seeing the boats or enjoying a nearby restaurant will be part of your itinerary sooner or later. Those who are lucky may even find a sea lion sunbathing there. Walking on Gorlero, the city's main avenue, is also part of a tour of the region.

Take a walk around the peninsula, visit the Lighthouse, Plazoleta Great Britain and admire the mermaids watching the river meet the sea. Anyone who enjoys a beautiful show can't miss Casapueblo at the end of the day and enjoy the setting sun, complete with a poem read by the owner of the house, the Uruguayan artist Vilaró. Don't forget to go to the Conrad Hotel and its casino, where the luxury of Punta del Este is at home.

Before deciding which hotel to stay in, you need to define which area best fits your needs. There are two places where most tourists stay: Punta del Este and La Barra. Another point to consider is the type of accommodation: Hotel? Rented apartment? Inn? Hostel? Check out all the hosting related tips here.

Punta del Este is the most famous place in the region - it's the place where the main tourist attractions are, where the river meets the sea, where the port and a good variety of hotels and restaurants are located. The peninsula is the most sought after place to stay in Punta, because, in addition to the excellent tourist structure, it is possible to go to several places on foot. The ideal is to be close to Av. Gorlero - the city's main thoroughfare - and thus not be held hostage by vehicles. Good lodging suggestions in this area are: Hotel Rorimar, Florinda and Remanso.

La Barra is known for its funky atmosphere, where young people like to enjoy the beaches during the day and enjoy the bars at night. It is a place with saltwater beaches and strong waves, full of art studios, where the nightlife is a positive point and the rawer structure is part of the relaxed atmosphere. Its streets are not always paved and the movement is concentrated on Ruta 10, the main "street" of the resort. For those staying in La Barra, it is better to have a car, to be able to go to Punta del Este, 10 km away, more easily. Good alternatives to stay in La Barra are the Kalá Hotel Boutique, the Hostel de la Barra and the Pousada de los Pássaros, near Montoya Beach.

Still in relation to the location, José Inácio has been considered an exclusive, rustic region, with beaches with few people, where famous artists rent houses and seek all the tranquility possible.

Have fun!
